 The Language of Wholeness™ is rooted in new paradigms for human:
  • Well-being
  • Architecture (Structure)
  • Function (Coordination of action-movement)
  • Adaptation (Learning)
The more accurate your perspective the more access you'll have to clarity, ease, freedom and empowerment.

The core of the work is to support you to experience the mechanics and miracle of your own being so you can harness that information to live how and do what you want with less obstacles and roadblocks. This is the foundation for living a thriving life.

Here is an overview of the philosophy of Wholeness in Application.

The Language of Wholeness™ is a pedagogy for the 21st century.
      It is an approach to:
  • Align your teaching strategies with the way the human system works.
  • Shift frustration, anxiety or worry to clarity and calm.
  • Transform effort, strain in moving to light, lively mobility.
  •  Experiencing your current capabilities rather than always try to improve/change.
  • Empower yourself and your students.
  • Ease common chronic physical pain such as knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain.
Please note: I am phasing out the use of The Lightner Method and using Language of Wholeness instead.
The Language of Wholeness™ is like learning any language -- but this one is not foreign or new. It is your innate language of sensation that points you toward connection, agency, clarity, joy. It is like getting 3-D glasses -- suddenly you experience a new dimension of what has been right in front of you all the time. This language of wholeness opens you to a way of seeing the world beyond the words of the language.

Register for David Gorman's Anatomy of Wholeness™ on-line workshops!

Please join us for two on-line workshops with David Gorman.  His insights on human structure, function, learning and wholeness are the foundation for my work. I am thrilled he agreed to do these workshops as part of the Wholeness in Twelve membership option and the Language of Wholeness Apprentice program. We have decided to open them up to the public.

Part 1 - The first workshop will be on the Elastic Suspension System which allows us to be fully supported (stability) and completely free (mobility) with an extra bonus that springs us into action for free... This is the foundation of the Wholeness in Motion™.  Even if you have a sense of this territory there is nothing like hearing it from David and seeing all his illustrations. I've heard this material 20 times and I still have breath-taking moments. I can hardly wait! 
THIS IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A RECORDING. SO IT ISN'T TOO LATE TO JOIN US
 
Part 2 - The second workshop takes the foundation of the 1st part and expands it to include the double-spiral system of outer muscles which tie together the suspension system with breathing and locomotion into a coordinated whole. This will be so useful!

When: Saturday March 23rd and April 20th 10 to noon eastern standard time.
Where: On-line through ZOOM
Cost: $22 per workshop ($20  cash/check discount)
To Register: Please pay below and email me so I can add you to the list to receive the ZOOM link at babette@lightnermethod.com
